Dr. Emily Masnica, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Masnica, and I joined New Path Psychiatry in 2022 to provide trauma-informed, patient-centered medication management. My approach is psychologically-minded and holistic—I believe that patients are the experts of their own lives, and I’m here to support them in making choices that feel right. I work closely with therapists and consider all aspects of wellness, from exercise and diet to sleep, knowing that mental health is deeply connected to every part of our lives. When working with children or teens, I make sure to include parents or caregivers in the process, so everyone feels comfortable and the young person’s voice is heard.

I work with clients of all ages and gender identities, drawing on over 12 years of experience in various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, ER, and correctional facilities. My background includes a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Columbia University, which has deepened my understanding and passion for holistic, inclusive care. My goal is for clients to feel genuinely heard and supported as they work toward fulfilling, balanced lives. As I often say, “I want my clients to feel validated and respected. I want each client to achieve their treatment goals and live their lives to the fullest.”
